6.GR.A: Solve problems in context involving area, surface area, and volume.

Solve problems in context involving area, surface area, and volume.

6.GR.A.1Find the area of triangles, quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles and quadrilaterals to solve problems.6.GR.A.2Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths. a. By packing prisms with unit cubes and using estimation to show that the volume can be found by multiplying the edge lengths of the prism. b. Apply the formulas and (B is the area of the base) to find the volumes of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths in context.6.GR.A.3Draw polygons in the Coordinate Plane given coordinates for the vertices; use coordinates to find the length of a side joining endpoints with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate. Apply these techniques in context.6.GR.A.4Represent three-dimensional figures (triangular prism, rectangular prism, pyramid) using nets made up of rectangles and triangles, and use the nets to find the surface area of these figures to solve problems.
